Hidden Speakeasy At O’Hare: The Secret Steakhouse You Can Now Enter [Roundup]

by Gary Leff

News and notes from around the interweb:

  • There’s A Secret Speakeasy In The Middle Of O’Hare — And It’s The Last Of Its Kind “There used to be members-only Gaslight Clubs in cities across the country. Today, only the O’Hare location, which has been around more than 50 years, remains — and you no longer need a key to enter.”

  • JD Vance advisor on sneaking drugs past TSA, not recommended. (HT: Paul H)

    “Putting a bag in between pages of a book or in your wallet is also a safe bet,” they wrote. “TSA xray machines just show different types of material as different colors. What they’re looking for is metal. Since most book covers also have plastic in them, it’ll just all show up as the same color. I’ve never had an issue.”

  • CLEAR now offers $60 off Point.me Premium

    All CLEAR Plus members get $60 off of point.me Premium membership. For $200/year, unlock unlimited award flight searches, plus exclusive discounts, including a $100 credit for concierge travel booking services and a free point strategy consultation with a points expert.

  • Air India Flying Returns and Air Vistara Club Vistara will be integrated and rebranded as Maharaja Club

  • It was fiber powder from Costco, not cocaine. TSA probably didn’t care in any case, scanning the bag it looked like something they wanted to know more about in case it was explosives – the same way powdered baby formula usually triggers extra attention.

  • Impressive.

  • Oh no. (HT: James)

  4. Robin:

    If you studied the history of my hometown, maybe you’d understand, you stupid cow.

  5. @O’Hare is My Second Home
    How do you know she is a stupid cow? Are you Chump Jr., calling people names?
    Why do you think people have to study the history of Chitown before they comment?

  6. Rog: She’s a cow because I say so. I call people names because I like to, and I don’t accept the alleged moral authority of anyone, especially Internet pearl-clutchers like you. So stuff it.
